As a mom on one of the hardest things for us to do is to put ourselves first. We make sure that our children have everything they need from the moment that they are conceived. This is one of the things I am working on this year. I am horrible at making sure I myself eats something healthy. Breakfast for me can consist of left overs from last night to a quick snack of cookies. Very rarely is something healthy squeezed in. I have begun to workout again and I know one thing that I need is a healthy breakfast to help me start my day out right. That’s why I am glad to try out Nature Valley’s new cereal.
Nature Valley has been providing people with healthy snacks for years. Their granola bars are something I often pick up to give me a pick me up a majority of the time so I was thrilled that they came out with a cereal that helps me find energy to fit in a workout or walking my kids to school and to the bus stop in the morning. Not only does this cereal help me find energy but it tastes great as well. Nature Valley cereal comes in three different flavors. The flavors are honey oat clusters, chocolate oat clusters, and baked oak bites. Each cereal contains 100% whole grain oats and honey.
I tried the cereal for the first time yesterday after purchasing it from Publix. I chose to try the honey oat clusters. I love the taste of honey and oats together. They are always the perfect combination. When I tried these I just knew that they were going to taste delicious. I was right with the first bite I knew that I was going to be buying this cereal again. It gave me a great burst of energy. My day starts at 6 in the morning so I need energy. In that time I get my kids up for school, walk to school, try to squeeze in a workout, and get all my housework done. This is all before my husband and kids come home from work and school. Since I like to have things done before then I need something that will keep me going. Nature Valley Cereal does just that. I felt great for the entire day. I tend to feel sluggish at about 11 like clockwork but this didn’t happen at all yesterday.
I would not sleep on this cereal (yes pun definitely intended). You can find Nature Valley Cereal at your local Publix.

I believe they will be. I think I’m going to try it in some trail mix.
Toni | BoulderLocavore says
I’ve always loved Nature Valley products. You are absolutely right, we put ourselves last. Which makes no sense really. If we fall apart everyone else in the family will too!
Kgilbert says
I totally agree. We definitely need to learn to focus on ourselves a little bit more.
Beeb Ashcroft says
My mom is terrible at focusing on her needs as well. I’m not a mother yet but I am ALWAYS forgetting to eat or even DRINK for the day which is horrible. This is one of my favorite cereals because I can eat it dry or with milk if I get time and it has a ton of nutrients to carry me for a good portion of the day.
Kgilbert says
That’s what I love most about it. You can eat it straight out of the box.
Brandy says

Seattle Travel Blogger says
This what I tell my sister frequently – as a busy mom, she has trouble putting some time aside for herself.
I think this sort of healthy snacking would set a great example for her 7yr old daughter.
Kgilbert says
I am working on doing this more myself. I am horrible at it.
Debbie Denny says
